How To Extract The System Folder From
Stock Firmware PDA File
Why Might You Want To Do This
There maybe a number reasons - for example
1- You may want to copy the system folder into kitchen to use as a working folder to create a custom rom
2- You may want to get certain files from stock rom without having to flash stock rom
How To Do It
Programmes required
1- Winrar
2- MagicISO (or any other programme able to open and extract img files)
Download the stock firmware from my firmware thread 5360 Here or 6102 Here
Note firmware downloaded from Sammobile will need to split first using splitfus2

Unzip firmware using winrar
Look at the file pda_5360_basebandversrion.tar.md5
Step 2
Rename file to remove the extension .md5 so its just .tar
Step 3
Open it with winrar and extract system.img to a folder on your desktop
Step 4
Open system.img in magiciso
Now you will see all the rom files
Step 5
Highlight all the files and drag and drop to a folder on your desktop or you can highlight them all and right click and select extract
You now have a folder with all the stock rom files that you can copy to a working folder in kitchen or use as you wish
very nice boz

Hi, can you please explain me step by step how to translate an app and what files i can rewritte when i decompile .dll ?? i don't understand many step... lol
Big thankx for the tools man,
Poloche,
First, decompile the app's main .dll file, you fill get the couple of files extracted. In some cases (especially when the app has more than 1 language supported), you will get a .resources file. Use .NET Resource to edit it's content. Otherwise, if there is no .resources file, you will have to do the work by Hex Editor.
Take a look at the screenshot for more details.
1st let me tell you what and all required for a custom bootanimation.
You must have a ROOTED device.
A root file manager such as ROOT EXPLORER
Custom bootanimation of your choice
15-20 minutes of time
and importantly PATIENCE
if you have all these then proceed to the next step
Download any of you favorite Bootanimation from here or from any other thread/site
How to add:
You need root.
If you need the stock bootanimation then make a back up of that using RootExplorer
Copy the bootanimation to your SD Card.
Rename to bootanimation.zip -If the zipfile has any other name plz rename it to "bootanimation.zip" , without quotes
With root explorer or any other app that allows you to get to /system/media
Copy the bootanimation .zip into /system/media and replace it with the stock one (remember to mount R/W)
Htc Users copy that to /data/local if you want
And Finally set permissions to rw--r--r--
Should Look something like this
x x -
x - -
x - -
All Bootanimations are of 320x480 size

Thanks man it worked.
For those who wants to extract system apps from firmware
1.) Extract firmware using 7-Zip ZS( AP firmware > super.img.lz4>Super.img)
2)Using simg2img convert the super.img file to super.raw file using below command via cmd
command : simg2img.exe super.img super.raw
3) extract system apps from super.raw using 7-Zip ZS
4) Done!!
use lz4 binary to decompress it i.e. lz4 -d super.img.lz4 to get super.img then use simg2img to unsparse it i.e. sim2img super.img super.u.img then can use lpunpack binary to unpack super.img to get system vendor product etc. etc.
